Windows 10: VB-Audio Voicemeeter Potato fails to install

I had previously installed voicemeeter potater v3.0.0.5 on win 10 i believe it was 1803. I updated to 1809 build 17763.379 in january and yesterday attempted to update voicemeeter to v3.0.0.7 and it failed. i removed everything and tried to roll back to 3.0.0.5 and it fails now too. i was talking with vb-audio and they said it seems like there is an issue with windows that is disrupting the digital signature check. the drivers are signed, but it's still failing. the only change to windows was updating to the build mentioned above along with whatever windows updates came with that.

Latest Windows Update and VB Audio Cable

Possible helpful Remark: In some cases, WIN10 update might re-install our audio driver (VB-CABLE or Voicemeeter VAIO) by its automatic process (instead of by our installation procedure). Consequently the audio point names and icons can be changed, possibly
disturbing the audio configuration...

So we recommend to re-install VB-CABLE (or Voicemeeter)...

REBOOT after de-installation, REBOOT after installation.

...and check your audio configuration:

- default playback device, default recording device might be changed

- communication options and default communication devices might be changed

- your app device selection might also be changed...

One of the minidump files pointed to the vbaudio_cable64_win7.sys which appears to be a driver for VB Audio VoiceMeeter so try temporarily uninstalling VB Audio VoiceMeeter.

 

Audio driver (Voicemeeter) preventing Windows from sleeping

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in response.

I suggest you to try updating your Audio driver (Voicemeeter) and check for the issue. If the issue still persists then I
suggest you to uninstall the application and check if the issue still remains the same. This is to check if the third party application is conflicting to the issue.

If the sleep mode issue still persist after uninstalling the application, I suggest you to update the display driver and check if it helps.

Refer the steps below:

1. Press Windows key + X and click on Device Manager.

2. Expand Display Adaptor.

3. Right click on the video driver and select Update Driver Software. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.

Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.
